The Patuxet tribe was a tributary of the Wampanoag Confederacy in the area known today as Massachussettes during the 17th Century.
Patuxet was the old abandoned village they settled in.
Squanto, a member of the Patuxet tribe, was captured by English explorer Thomas Hunt in 1614 and taken to Spain as a slave. He eventually escaped and made his way to England, where he learned English and lived with a group of traders. In 1619, he returned to North America with a group of fishermen, only to find that his tribe had been decimated by disease. He then played a crucial role in helping the Pilgrims survive their first winter in 1620.
It was not until March 16/26, some three months after the Pilgrims arrived, that a tall Indian walked boldly into the plantation crying out, "Welcome! Welcome, Englishmen!" The Pilgrims were startled when the Indian named Samoset introduced himself to the Pilgrims in English. Samoset, an Abnaki Indian from Maine, had been kidnapped by explorers and taken to England
Squanto, a member of the Patuxet tribe, was historically significant for being a crucial intermediary between the Pilgrims and Native Americans at Plymouth. Having learned English during his time in captivity, he facilitated communication and helped the settlers understand local agriculture, teaching them essential survival skills like planting corn and using fish as fertilizer. His assistance was pivotal in the Pilgrims' early success and survival, ultimately leading to the first Thanksgiving in 1621, which symbolized cooperation between the two cultures. Squanto's role exemplified the complex interactions and relationships between Native Americans and European settlers during this transformative period in history.
Many of the tribes that used wigwams also used other dwellings such as longhouses, so there is an overlap in building traditions. In addition, not all wigwams were made the same; there were conical (tipi-shaped) versions as well as domed and elongated oval types; coverings could be of bark sheets, woven mats of plant fibre, hides or trade blankets.Some of the tribes that used wigwams either exclusively or in combination with other dwellings are:Ojibwe/Ojibwa/ChippewaMaliseetDelaware (Lenape)AbenakiMi'kmaqNIpmucAlgonquinMenomineeSaukFoxCreeMontagnaisNarragansettWampanoag (includes Massachusett, Nauset, Patuxet, Nantucket and others)OttawaShawneePotawatomiWinnebagoPequot and MoheganMahicanNianticMontaukShinnecockPoosepatuckWappingerMiamiHuron/WendatBeothukThe term wickiup is often used interchangeably with wigwam but I make a clear distinction between the two. Wickiups were generally slightly different shelters of the western and south-western USA, often with only a covering of brushwood and more of a sun screen than a dwelling. The use of the word wigwam for "tipi" is completely incorrect.
Patuxet tribe was created in 1617.

The Patuxet were part of the Wampanoag group and spoke a dialect of the Natick language - one of the Algonquian languages.In Natick the word for a house is wetu. this is what the Patuxet tribe called their own small, dome-shaped dwellings covered with sheets of bark, but we know them today as wigwams.
